Syracuse, NY - The case before County Judge Tony Aloi was a serious one: Martinous Hudson is accused of murdering two friends and trying to murder a third while reportedly under the influence of PCP.

But there was a lighter moment in court as the judge dealt with the prosecution’s request for a court order to take a hair sample from Hudson to test for evidence of drug use.

After waiting to see if the prosecution could arrange to take the sample from Hudson right there in his courtroom, Aloi was told authorities would have a doctor visit Hudson in the jail later that day to obtain the sample.

“You need a doctor to take hair?” the judge asked. “I have a comb.”

Aloi then quickly noted there just might be some hair-sensitive folks in court.

“There are a lot of thoughts running through my mind right now,” Senior Assistant District Attorney Chris Bednarski said.
